Steven Brown

Goodreads Author

Steven spent his childhood reading anything he could get his hands on, sharing his favorite stories with his younger brothers and then acting them out, especially if this required sword fighting on horseback. When they ran out of books, he wrote his own, including his brothers as the main characters by sketching original illustrations on magazine clippings.

Co-author Erin Michelle Sky fell in love with llamas and with the books of Anne McCaffrey, whose Dragonriders of Pern series inspired her to become a writer. When she finally met Anne McCaffrey at a fantasy convention some two decades later, she wept uncontrollably throughout the entire affair. She does significantly better with llamas.

I listen to it, and it puts me in the right frame of mind for that story. For Tales of the Wendy, book 2, for example, I'm listening to a lot of Lindsey Stirling.

If I'm really stuck and music isn't working, I stop reading other books, so my creativity isn't being pulled in different directions. Then I step away from it and go do something else. Maybe a hike, or a quick road trip. Or bouldering. Anything to jar that creative spark awake again.(less)

she understood that some people will gossip about things they ought not to worry over at all, that this is just “how things are,” and that the best thing to do about it is simply to avoid the situation altogether. Which can usually be managed by sneaking around and doing what you wanted to do in the first place, just with less attention.
